Democrats Can’t Make A Case For Democrats
Derek Hunter
Imagine talking to a group of people struggling to feed their families, to pay their bills, worried about whether or not they can make their next rent of mortgage payment and, as they look to you for some glimmer of hope that you are going to make things just a little bit better for them, all you can talk about is how your opponent is the new Hitler and how they should love abortion. That’s what Democrats have become.
When I was a kid, Democrats tried to talk to people about the things that mattered in their lives – the economy, taxes, the schools. Most of what they said was lies, but you at least had the sense that they were aware of your existence and problems. Not anymore.
Growing up in a lower-middle class area in southeast Michigan, just 6 streets outside of Detroit on the “wrong” side of 8-mile, Democrats were everywhere, promising to make things better. All they did was make things worse. For all the talk of Detroit’s revitalization, it’s really only about a two mile stretch down Woodward Avenue from Wayne State University (where I went to college) and Hart Plaza on the Detroit River. You can still play golf in most neighborhoods, as vacant lots are the order of the day (the abandoned crack houses have been largely torn down or burn up on Devil’s Night over the years).
Democrats did that. For a long time, they blamed Republicans, and it was common for the left to scream about how Ronald Reagan “screwed over Detroit,” but no Republican has sniffed power in the city in 62 years. Reagan left office 34 years ago. What lasting policies do you think are keeping Detroit down? I’ll save you looking it up, there are none.
